Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rejected on Sunday the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision to appoint the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) nominee Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi as the caretaker chief minister of Punjab and announced to challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
Rejecting the ECP decision, PTI Chairman Imran Khan termed Naqvi a “sworn enemy” of his party. He alleged that the polls supervisor had helped reduce Pakistan to a “banana republic” and made democracy a joke in the country.
“PMLN has history of selecting their own umpires but it’s incredible how ECP has selected a sworn enemy of PTI as caretaker CM Punjab – a post meant for a non-partisan person. Naqvi also made a voluntary return deal with NAB [National Accountability Bureau],” Imran said in a tweet.
